We have finished learning calligraphy with Mr. Nakasone for the year. We enjoyed each lesson. We hope K2 friends will enjoy practicing calligraphy throughout their elementary school years. Thank you, Mr. Nakasone, for so many fun lessons!

Tops Tournament 2021

We did our first Tops (Koma) Tournament. Everyone tried their best (even teachers, too!). Everyone showed good sportsmanship- “Challenge and Try!” Everyone had a great time! Enjoy some of our pictures.

Our three champions: #1- Rikyo! #2- Norris! #3- Mr. Hosono! Congratulations!

We will continue Kendama and Tops challenge in Kinder. Now our Kinder friends are so into it. (They might have asked you to buy top and kendama to practice more.)

Kinder friends enjoy practicing and improving their skills.

Good job, Kinder friends! We look forward to seeing the next stage of this challenge!

Crazy Hair Day

Everyone came to school with their unique style and they were welcomed with beautiful smiles by their friends. 🙂

Look at our Kinder friends in their crazy hair 🙂

Here are K2 friends 🙂

P.S. Masks were taken off only during picture taking time.

We also visited the office, library, G1 and G2 friends.

What a crazy hair day! Thank you dear parents for your support and cooperation 🙂

Have a nice weekend♪

Enjoying the Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom around Kinder and we enjoyed some time sketching our different cherry blossom scenes…

Last year K2 teachers made pottery magnets. Recently our K2 friends said they want to make pottery magnets, too. So we met our Amicus pottery teacher, Ms. Hasegawa, to start our mini pottery project- magnets!

K1 (Playdough) Muchi Making

Originally, we planned to have Marathon and Muchi Making today but due to the current pandemic as well as the weather today we were not able to proceed as planned.

当初の計画では、本日マラソン大会とムーチー作りをする予定でいましたが、さ現在発出されている緊急事態宣言と天候不良により、どちらも実施することができませんでした。

However, we thought that a fun muchi making activity is necessary for our K1 friends to learn about Okinawan culture.

First, we let them watch and listen to a story about “Muchi”

ですが、K1では沖縄の文化を学ぶために、楽しいムーチー作りのアクティビティを行いました。まず始めに“ムーチー”についてのお話を視聴しました。

Then, we started making the playdough mix using flour, salt, oil, water and food color.

まず、小麦粉、塩、油、水、食紅を混ぜ…、

Next, we made muchi using playdough and wrapped it with “getto no happa” (getto leaf).

次に、出来上がった粘土でムーチーを形作り、月桃の葉に包みました。

Then, they enjoyed playing and making many things with the leftover playdough that they took home eventually.

また、本日持ち帰っていますが、K1の子どもたちは残った粘土で様々なもの作って楽しみました！

※Please refrain from eating this playdough. このムーチーは食べられません。

Happy Friday indeed! 🙂
